Salyut 40

Efficient Weed Control in Maize Crops

«Salute 40» is a high-performance post-emergence herbicide designed to protect maize from the most stubborn annual and perennial grass weeds, as well as a wide range of broad-leaved weeds. Featuring a microencapsulated emulsion formulation, this product ensures prolonged action and high biological efficacy even under challenging weather conditions.

Application and Mechanism of Action

This product belongs to the class of selective systemic herbicides. Its core feature is targeting the enzymatic system of weeds. Upon contact with the leaves, the active ingredient, nicosulfuron, rapidly blocks cell division, leading to an immediate growth cessation. Visual signs (chlorosis, necrosis) appear within 3–5 days, with complete weed mortality observed within two weeks.

• Target Weeds: Quackgrass, barnyard grass, lambsquarters, wild mustard, shepherd's purse, common chickweed, purple dead-nettle.
• Application Guidelines: The application rate is 1–1.25 L/ha. Maximum efficacy is achieved with a single seasonal application during the active growth phase of weeds (3–5 leaf stage of maize).

Why Agronomists Choose «Salute 40»

The primary advantage is its selectivity. Maize crops tolerate the treatment well, allowing for field cleaning even under high grass weed pressure. The microencapsulation process reduces the risk of phytotoxicity and promotes a more uniform distribution of the substance across the leaf surface. It is the optimal choice for farms planning an effective, one-pass weeding strategy for their maize fields.
